It's really quite easy to get words jumbled up, especially for those not 100% confident with their English language skills when it comes to writing things down. It's not so much the obvious mistakes that are easily made but more the subtle ones. Things like spelling breach as breech or compliment as complement. Small and subtle but it makes all the difference. For those who are keen to ensure that such blips are a distant memory, an app like WordWit has the potential to not only educate and entertain in its mission to decode the secrets of confusing word usage and spelling.

Hundreds of misused words are paired with the incorrect entry with the user needing to figure it out for themselves. Simple explanations are offered for these variances to ensure that the differences are laid out obviously for those learning their way around the language. There are even handy mnemonics offered to ensure that the correct answer is remembered easily for the future. All of WordWit's entries have been written from scratch by their team with even the quotes featured throughout carefully researched and chosen for the purpose of educating. The quotes themselves are frequently educational too which is always a benefit.

Crucially, WordWit maintains the fun factor with quizzes available to keep things entertaining as well as educational. The ideal way for any student to learn in particular. The quiz functionality isn't the only way to learn though with the option to look up specific words or browse the selection too.

For the word addict, it's also possible to suggest words that the developers may have missed out first time thus hopefully ensuring that they feature in future updates.

Fun and a way of learning something. What more could be needed in an app? WordWit is out now for $1.99.
